Yep. It's clear that lidar isn't literally needed. That said, I think the argument just shifts to "the cameras on a Tesla aren't good enough either."

That's also just a shot from the hip, weasely sort of argument but it's harder to dismiss outright.
I don’t get why it’s not covered under existing laws, clearly every vehicle has to be operated by a driver with a valid license correct? You would think letting a vehicle drive without a licensed operator at the wheel would be negligence.
It says "coming soon" for freeBSD and Windows in the readme, so I assume it is (was) planned.
Walter Bright's Empire was very influential, but it wasn't the only one. This is the description of the BSD Empire, which was under independent development and popular in the Unix world (originally from the game written by Peter S. Langston). Both games had common themes (explore and conquer) and gameplay (turn-based, grid map), and historically there was much controversy and confusion. Nowadays both sides seemed to agree that they are independent and has no connection.

> There is another Empire game that was originally developed by Peter Langston. Langston Empire and my Empire were conceived and developed independently in the 1970's, each of us had no knowledge of the other. Several websites assume that one is based on the other, these statements are simply not true.

The main objective should be to remove it from search engines.

Even if you leave names in the story but you stop search engines reading the names.

It feels like a lost cause, but search is the real culprit here.
Yes but UBI is offset by more taxes at higher income brackets. Most specific UBI proposals are 10x cheaper than 3.9b.
The number of people interested is up to 66% now (https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2021/01/21/poli...), and I think there’s good reason to expect it to keep rising as the rollout continues. It does seem likely there’ll be an awkward in between period where we don’t have quite enough takeup but the vaccinated people demand to go clubbing, but I don’t expect it’ll be too large.
I treat Tesla's Autopilot basically like it's a very new driver or sonebody learning to drive. You're constantly paying attention to what it's doing but you can rely on it to keep its lane and distance from other cars. I appreciate it immensely on longer drives since I don't get as tired / exhausted from constantly having to be giving micro-inputs. It allows me to drive for hours and keep my head feeling fresh for much longer than when I drive other cars with no asststance features.

There was a county in Louisiana that went back into a shutdown Thanksgiving week, when nothing at all had changed, except that a local university was on break and had stopped flooding the daily statistics with thousands of negative tests.

Not to mention the perverse incentive: if you feel sick, you want to avoid getting tested and counted as a positive if you don't want your locality or employer to shut down. There is a theory that this accounts for much of Japan's perceived success - antibody studies show just as much prevalence as everywhere else, what happened was that all the mild cases never got tested.

For large portion of the population, it isn't. 99.9+% for many demographics. I'm not interested in it personally, as one of my dad's coworkers got Bell's palsy from the vaccine. Given my age and risk profile, the vaccine isn't worth it.
> FSD rollout is purely driven by Elon’s ego. He’s addicted to fame and power...

Whoa. You have strong feelings.

One of my Life Rules that has served me enduringly well is to avoid believing that I can confidently have real insight into what motives drive someone. That rule is not for their benefit, but for my own: to putatively "know" something is to invite an incorrect model of reality and thereby incorrect action. It doesn't actually matter what drives Musk or anyone else: ego, pure business interests, a desire to take humanity to the stars, boredom, pathology, space ghosts, whatever. What matters is behavior and its effects.

If you criticize Musk's ego, ambition, pride, there's nothing actionable for anyone, neither Musk himself nor Tesla's potential customers. If you criticize the Tesla FSD rollout, now there's something people can do.
Thanks! Also trying that out.
Tacking onto this, once your father's reputation is big enough even a felony conviction won't stop him from being hired at top places.

I've had offers at Google/Apple. I've worked for the Federal Avation Administration. I've been on a leadership team who's raised from A16Z. I've been through IPOs. I've gotten jobs in London and Tokyo.

Sure, it's extra paperwork when you have to explain that you're a felon, but once he's got a reputation, companies will foot the legal bill for him to join.

Where the difference in both this and the grand parent post is about choice.

If you fear the pandemic and what to lock yourself up in isolation we should as much as possible allow that. And if you want to work on very dangerous projects for better rewards you spud be able to.

With autonomous cars the choice of risk may not be so easy.

Arguing about what real choice you have is overly pedantic and we should rather concentrate on the principles for the right out come.

I suspect charging will be more prevalent in time. Charging in apartment buildings, on the street, etc.

Even now you can make trips to the super charger on occasion and just pick one where you can get dinner, though this is obviously not as convenient as gas.

You can also move to an apartment with an EV charger (I did) or have one installed. They’re becoming more common.
But people also shouldn't waste so much time of their life stuff in traffic driving vehicles either. I mean, the ideal city would probably be self-driving trains, people movers, and free scooters, segways, or wheelchairs everywhere. No AI vision systems needed.

If you live in urban Japan, do you ever need a car?

To replace all 273 million vehicles in the US with self-driving EVs would cost around $10 trillion @ $50k per car. You could built a national network of self-driving lanes for a fraction of that. You could build rail lines and subways in every major metro area.

The major upside of a car vs train though is privacy. You may not mind taking the train in Japan, but in SF, it can be disgusting, and so private vehicles and American culture may be inseparable.

But that still leaves many other solutions, like we have bike lanes, and HOV lanes, we could build AV-only lanes, and prohibit AVs from working (requiring manual takeover) when you depart them.

On long drives to work, you'd just stay in the AV lane and chill, and when you got close to an exit, you'd have to take over. It would still be a win if on a 1hr commute you only did 15 minutes of actual driving.

This isn't really a good way to think about it; if you're fluent, you have already learned all the rules.

A "rule" like "no one will take you seriously as a lawyer if you write 号, you must always write 日 instead" is a fact about the culture, not the language.
I'm curious if this is due to fewer options in the market that aren't EV.

It’s not because water can be reused.

But even if it was, I’d think they would have ensured its all viable before applying to build a multi billion dollar fab. Don’t you think so?

What’s astonishing is this investment is only 3-4 few billion dollars, which pales in comparison with federal handouts that are pure consumption and get mostly burned on consumable items. The damage that handouts do is enormous.

Coinbase Incident Post Mortem: January 6–7, 2021
Human senses may be fairly consistent day to day, but variability across humans is quite significant. Even a single person's faculties (vision, cognition, focus) change drastically over longer periods of time, or when they're tired, sick, or worse (drunk). Machines at least have standardized hardware with self-test protocols and onboard diagnostics. There are innumerable scenarios in which machines have no good solution yet, but I suspect over time the heuristics will reach a threshold of "good enough for public use."
Yes, everyone that is alive today will be dead one day.

Central PA to northern New York is no big deal with the super charger network, I’ve done drives of that length.

Tesla has offered access to their superchargers, but legacy car companies haven’t taken them up on the offer.

Day to day, Tesla’s are better than gas - you don’t have to deal with filling up ever or oil changes etc.

Mid range road trips like you describe are also easy.

Super long cross country trips are doable, but more of a pain since the time spent charging starts to add up (it is a lot cheaper though).
The problem isn't that Indian developers aren't as good as Western developers, it's that competent engineers tend to emigrate to wealthier countries.

Approx 15,000 Indian-born IT professionals migrate to Australia each year [1], and there are around 300,000 Indian H1B visa holders (of any profession) in the USA [2]. I don't see this changing any time soon.

v1.0 of anything is never perfect. UberEats, DoorDash, etc are not v1.0 of deliveries. Online ordering in the early 00s were atrocious. Modern day services should at least be v2.0, but it seems like we are only at v1.5 (v1.0 reskinned and more options). These apps also seem to be run in the style of the mafia in that they take as much from all of their "stores" until they bleed them dry.
Pay by text message. Integration with businesses. It’ll take a while before Signal is going to be sharing your details with businesses, since they’ve worked hard not to have your details. FB wants more of them. They don’t have my CC or account data yet...but wait.

My grandma too. A week from first positive test to dying. It must have been very scary for her. No funeral. I found the part that continually makes me melancholy is all of these people alone in the hospital, separated from family, and feeling themselves get worse and worse.
Sure, you can potentially innovate faster, but unless you've got a good way of enforcing your changes on the whole network, one of two things happen. Either you either end up forking the network into multiple islands or building some crazy complex "negotiation" mechanism where two random clients need to agree on what features they support before they communicate.

We saw incompatible islands appear in decentralised systems before (this tends to not be good for users), and we've also seen how any implementation of "protocol/feature negotiation" is basically a disaster for security. I don't currently see how any truly decentralised system is lowering either of these costs.

WhatsApp never used to be e2e for everyone, but they were able to make it universal relatively quickly because it's centralised. All of the poster child decentralised protocols (SMTP, XMPP etc.) are still not e2e for everyone despite decades of effort.
> I guess this is the "by hand" mapping that the article concludes with

Not "the", "a". One of the comments under the OP itself links to another blog post [0] describing an alternative to explicit DTOs, which I personally prefer.

The point isn't just to pick some other solution and be done with it; the point is to understand the problem in the first place.

> It's incredibly easy to tweak JSON to allow it

Sure, but that was just an example of a general class of coupled-representation problems. As discussed elsewhere in this thread, the choice of JSON isn't even essential to the problem being discussed.

Also, even though (or precisely because) JSOG is 100% JSON, the fact remains that after your JSON parser finishes reading your JSOG document, you still have to hook up all the cycles. Either you do this by hand (per the article), or you wrap it up into parser-level knowledge (which breaks somewhat from the "100% JSON" intent).
An opinionated implementation of the OpenVPN protocol
Well the crap implementations of the EU privacy regs brought in even more legal popups. It's like a website EULA. Sorry to say this, I know I'll be downvoted but it's the truth. They should've said no popups, popovers, notifications or otherwise annoying dialogs in the directive.

Sensitivity is a nice-to-have, but the goal right now is averting outright war. If none of these bubbles can be cracked open, and everyone just keeps lurching toward violence, where it ends will make today’s tragedy look like mild inconvenience.
It's weird to hear you say that, because SMS is terrible. Unreliable delivery, delivery receipts that come back even if the recipient's phone is turned off, no media (MMS is also terrible, just try to send a video over it and watch the pixelated garbage that comes out the other side), no privacy or security to speak of, carrier interop issues (character encodings, message length, shortcode support), identity tied to your phone number, no ability to send/receive messages without being tethered to the phone (to be fair, Signal and WhatsApp also have this problem)... I could go on.
I think we do. They've had a very favored status for decades now. I didn't like a much of what Trump did, but playing hardball with China, I definitely liked that.
The arguments against Elon are so daft. I remember a Drive.AI exec saying in 2018 how Tesla’s auto pilot was like driving drunk. Drive.AI then collapsed with Apple acquiring it.

Sorry hard to respect a company called “Waymo” (sounds satirical) and a CEO who just wantonly dismisses Tesla “we don’t see them as a competitor.” It’s like delusional SV mindsets.

You can. Who said otherwise? Where did you get that idea?

An account at Mastodon (or Pleroma/Misskey/Pixelfed/anything) lets you follow anyone you want. There is no restriction about server talking with each other at the protocol level. If the server is federating and its admin is not trigger-happy with federation, you are good to go.

That's a very local problem that SoCal needs to work on. I can't remember having a blackout ever in my life, I live in Europe.

Just keep your car charged between 50% and 80% when you are at home and it should be enough to reach the hospital or a safe place during a blackout.
It's heavily regulated, just ask geohot [1]. Most of the players in this space do their self-driving vehicle testing carefully under controlled circumstances with some approval from local agencies. Tesla seems to be cheating by punting all the responsibility onto their customers, because instead of testing Self-Driving Cars they're just shipping software to customers and letting people run that on their cars.

With e2e vs insecure, there is an objective differentiating factor, while in wine (apart from price, there apparently isn’t).

To leverage your example, it would be like selling “secure e2e chat” (label) at a high price, although it uses insecure tech.
We can see from past examples that market share has big inertia. Even in cases where the top choice was under performing by a large margin it took years for majority of users to make the switch. Think about examples like Internet Explorer, Yahoo Mail, Windows on servers, etc.

We can also see from those past experiences that at first a very small minority of - let's call them power users - made the switch when otherwise the underdog seemed hopeless. But from them the infection spread. I think power users are also "influencers" and are worth a lot more that one single normal user as far as market share goes.

Now, functionally, WhatsApp is still good. So it's not clear if this will lead to anything. But something happened, there's no denying that.
Seems much cleaner and easier than today's bloated apps and websites. I can see why the Japanese hold on to their fax machines.
Yeah - Nikola is fraud, I think it’ll go to zero it’s just hard to know when.

This is also the general problem I have with SPACs. The incentives are all wrong.

If you’re a founder and some SPAC approaches you wanting to merge to take you public it means they think they can get a deal from you. They promise price certainty over an “uncertain market”, but if they’re willing to make the deal it’s because they’re betting the market will be good to them.

Why would the founder take that?

They should do their own IPO then if that’s the case or they’re getting ripped off.

Unless their company is fraudulent bullshit in which case they might as well take the SPAC deal and then they can dump their position on the public (after hyping it up of course). Then you can buy your $33M ranch in Utah [0] and retire on the winnings from your successful con.

Founders and SPAC investors cash out rich and the public is left holding the bag.

At best the founder is lazy and doesn’t want to deal with the logistics of a direct listing or IPO and that doesn’t bode well for my impression of the founder either.

I won’t invest in a SPAC and my prediction is that companies that go public via a SPAC will underperform those that go public by other means (especially those that do a direct listing).

I wonder how many college careers were derailed by a complex strategy game that you must go to the computer lab and play every six hours, like some kind of mashup of Tamagotchi with Axis & Allies. I narrowly avoided this in favor of Nethack and later Xtrek, which at least let me sleep.
So my point is it's not the same UX and convenience that a gas car offers present day and for a few years or so.

When it is then it makes sense for me to buy one. I'm happy to be driving a 2015 Nissan Sentra that is paid for.
That reflects of values and focus of those who wrote those pop tech/business history books/articles.

I have seen history books that do reflect "but he also killed some people" or are critical. They are however less popular in some circles.
It's fairly easy to dismiss that argument; the cameras would not be difficult to replace if they are the limiting factor. Cameras are cheap.
